hi I would like to let those who are afraid that there t has not been eating please don't be scared as this can be cause your t is ready to molt or just they don't feel like eating and a little info is spiders are known to go long times without food and most can do this for around 2 years this is scientifically accurate and they can also go with out water for around 8 to 10 months so please don't worry if yours stops eating just keep a eye on it and try feeding as you would and they will take it when there are ready

Some types like Rose hairs are infamous for hunger strikes. The cure for this is, of course, to get a T that isn't a finicky eater in addition to what you have such as a Lasiodora or Acanoscurria species of which there are many great choices.

Or you could just say hell with it and get a pamphobeteus, most of which are drop dead gorgeous, some of which are quite affordable as slings.

Slings rule.
